Is there a preferred way to transcribe venostasis/venous stasis?  I've always typed venostatis (in reference to changes in the extremity).  QA person saying that venostasis is "treatment of CHF by compression proximal veins of the extremities with tourniquets" taken from Stedman's dictionary...  your thoughts?  Thank you!

venous stasis vs venostasis.
Subject: venous stasis vs venostasis.

Both are correct. "o" is the combining form and thus acceptable as venostasis. Some dictators will use the combined form and some will use two separate words, I go with what the dictator says.

Ven = venous
stasis = cessation/impairment of flow thus ven "o" statis.

She is 92 years old and comfort-care only. Here is some past history:

Past medical history is significant for progressive dysphagia leading to frequent bouts of aspiration secondary to a prior cerebrovascular accident in 1997, recent admission for probable aspiration bronchitis/pneumonia, history of hypertension, history of thyroid replacement therapy, history of possible dehydration. She has a prior history of cataract, prior history of gallbladder surgery, recent PEG placement in 11/2005, status post TAH-BSO at age 40 and eyelid surgery in January 2002, history of chest pain admission in February 1996, history of cerebrovascular accident of the right internal capsule in June 1997, and history of TIA in August 2003.

stasis= noun: an abnormal state in which the normal flow of a liquid (such as blood) is slowed or stopped

docs often say it...chronic stasis...also say "chronic stasis dermatitis, or changes, or ulcers" but I think "chronic stasis" alone is okay.

Please tell me there are no jugular veins in the lungs. Did this doctor go med school?
Jugular veins end at bottom of the neck to subclavian veins, so how in the heck are there jugular veins in the lungs? He has to be in the neck!!!
